Experimental Investigation into Flexural Performance of Reinforced Profiled Steel Decking

Abstract:

Cold-formed profiled steel decking composite slab is one of the most widely used system of slab after conventional concrete slab for building structure. It is cost effective, straightforwardly designable and readily available in the market for construction. However due to modern architectural desire of large span building, this system weakness that is the requirement of temporary propped support may have an impact toward its cost effectiveness. Generally more propped support are required with the increase of slab span design.This paper present the result of laboratory test on the behavior of reinforced profiled steel decking under loading to increase the span for unpropped composite slabs construction. The load capacity of the steel decks was amplified by reinforcing cold formed C channel on the top flange of steel decks. The experimental program comprises 12 full-scale tests of three length with a set of modification of profiled steel decking using cold formed C channel.The result shown experimental evidence of the role played by the cold formed C channel on altering the cross section properties which supporting the bending capacity of the steel decks. The flexural response of the steel deck was examined using the LVDT instruments to capture the deformation at three points. The finding delivered by the experimental data for the performance of reinforced profiled steel decking are set as the base for the future verification of finite element model.
